Drawing Tuesday: Islamic Glass at British Museum

These photos I took in April when I last visited - the light was rather better than today

I chose this collection to sketch first with a blind drawing in watercolour pen , then in pencil before concentrating on the yellow-green bottle with the odd-angled twisted neck (a rose water sprinkler apparently!)

Having had enough of sitting down , I stood up to draw the even more bizarre shapes on the top shelf ﻿

It's always a dilemma whether to use waterbrush on the watercolour pencil drawing - decided not to risk losing the fine lines but did another little study of the bottle top where I did use a brush.
Loving colour as I do, I'm inspired be use them more and maybe hunt out my Inktense pencils.

Off to York very early tomorrow for the ' Quilt Art -Dialogues' exhibition - last chance to visit the Quilt Museum before it closes for good at the end of October.
